Made In Chelsea’s Lucy Watson officially leaves her reality TV days behind her

Made In Chelsea‘s Lucy Watson has decided to ditch her days on television in order to focus on a career in animal welfare.

Lucy quit the E4 reality series back in 2016 and, according to OK! Magazine, the celebrity has now left behind television for good. Instead, the 26-year-old will focus her efforts on raising awareness for animal rights and promoting a vegan lifestyle.

Speaking to the publication, Lucy admitted that, although she finds the lack of eco-friendly projects in the industry disheartening, she is excited to see one or two examples of vegan fashion come for the fore. She said: “I see some designers still draping their catwalks in fur, and that’s frustrating. But at the same time, I also see innovative designers and brands using beautiful fabrics that don’t bleed – and that’s incredibly exciting.

“I really do think that sustainable, vegan fabrics – like pineapple leather, yarns made from recycled plastic bottles, and down-alternative seed fibres – are the way of the future.”

Lucy encourages a vegan lifestyle on social media and on her YouTube channel, where she preaches the importance of protecting the environment and respecting animals. The star explained how she feels lucky that her career path has taken this direction.
